Hitting the campaign trail at Maduratankam, which goes to bypoll on October six, Vijay launched a virulent attack on the previous DMK regime on the Veeramani case, alleging that the case involving sexual abuse of minor girls had been suppressed for years. He also questioned why former Chief Minister M.K. Stalin had remained silent on the issue.
